Abstract: 5755. Pratt, A. C. March 10, 1909, [Convention date]. Making metal fabrics; bending dies and formers; shearing-adjuncts.-In the manufac ture of " ring mesh " or chain-mail fabric, a stationary mandrel 2, Fig. 1, with one or more spiral grooves cut in it, is surrounded by a ring 5 with vertical grooves into which projecting portions of the mesh enter. Wire fed by reciprocating grippers is cut by shears and is forced by dies and plungers into dies 18, 18', Fig. 5, of which in the machine shown there are two pairs, and also there are correspondingly two spiral grooves in the mandrel. An anvil 37 is brought into operative position through the bottom of the table by a spring. The dies 18, 18<1> correspond respectively to rings A, B, Figs. 11 and 12, and the mesh is made with the rings succeeding one another along an inclined line parallel to the grooves of the mandrel. The ring 5 is rotated by ratchet mechanism and thereby the mesh is fed around the mandrel and parallel to its axis. To obtain the inclination of the rings B, one pair of dies is provided with spring fingers to pull them backwards into position.

Granted: 1911-09-25
Abstract: 22,099. Lynde, F. G., and Calthrop, E. R. Sept. 23. Breakwaters, piers, landing-stages, and seawalls.-Sea-walls, breakwaters, piers, pontoons, floating-stages, foundations for lighthouses and other structures, and submerged or floating obstructions to navigation are built of hexagonal cells of reinforced concrete mechanically vibrated mainly while in situ before it comes set. A layer of sand is first formed, and upon this are placed concrete blocks 2 carrying dowels 3. Concrete is then poured upon the sand so as to embed the blocks, and corner pillars 5 are cemented upon the dowels 3. Each pillar has embedded in it and projecting therefrom three sheets of metallic reinforcement 7, which may be interknitted with that of adjacent pillars to form hexagonal cells, and is covered with concrete by means of moulding- boards 9. Further tiers of cells may be built upon the lower ones, and the whole may be floated into position and sunk, or it may be built upon a separate pontoon, which may be floated away. In order to prevent floating while the structure is being built, holes 16 may give access of water at high tide to the inside of the structure. The structure may be instantaneously sunk by providing electrically-ope-- rated explosive charges at the bottom of the cells. Adjacent structures when sunk may be cemented together.

Filed: 1910-09-21
Granted: 1912-05-23
Abstract: 20,534. Canfield, H. R. Sept. 21, 1910, [Convention date]. Controllers, actuating-mechanism for; systems for continuous-current motors only.-A relay for use in a motor controller &c. has one winding and one movable member so arranged that the latter is held in one position if the current exceeds a predetermined value, and is moved to another position when the current becomes smaller. A rectangular framework S' of magnetic material is provided with one pole-piece S<3> and an adjustable ping S''', the inner end S<4> of which forms a second pole-piece. An armature S<5> with an extension S<20>, preferably of smaller cross-section than the part S<5>, is connected to the switch arm S<8> by a non-magnetic rod S. The armature extension S<20> is separated from the plug S<19> by non-magnetic material S<6>, and the winding S" surrounds the polepiece S<4>, as shown in Fig. 1. When the current in the winding S<11> is below a certain value, the flux in the gap S<12> raises the armature S<5> against the flux in the gap S<13>, and the armature closes the switch. When a larger current flows, the flux in the gap S<13> has a greater effect on the armature, and the switch is held open. Three of the switches are shown in Fig. 4 combined to form an automatic motorstarter. When the main switch S is closed and the current drops sufficiently, the switch S<a> closes to short-circuit the resistance R', and to complete the circuit of the winding of the switch S<b>. The switches thus close in order until all the resistance is short-circuited. The windings may be shunted so that they only take a part of the current. In a modification, the switches connect resistances in parallel and finally shortcircuit them.

Two vessels 1 may be arranged so that each is alternately emptied and filled through a four-way valve. The air tubes are connected so that the pressure of the air forced out of one vessel aids the discharge of the liquid in the other vessel. Such an arrangement is. especially adapted to deliver glue, syrup, &c.
